I've run into a pattern that I feel may be some sort of anti-pattern, or perhaps there's just a better way to accomplish.

Consider the following utility function that renames a key in an object similar to renaming a file with the terminal command mv.

Goal: I need to perform some post-processing of React components, and that involves removing some props. I tried to use React.cloneElement passing {propToRemove: undefined} as the second argument, but the prop is not removed, just set to undefined. I could use React.createElement, but according to the docs, that would lose refs, which is a serious drawback.

A contrived example not doing anything useful, just to test:

The command line application shoogle (https://github.com/tokland/shoogle) which exposes google api services at a terminal command line requires python3 but the ubuntu 16 default python is 2.7.

I have tried alias and calling the shoogle app from subprocess in a python3 shell but (of course) the os still provides the default. I have been reluctant to make system wide changes to .bashrc or PYTHONPATH e.g. as so many other resource expect 2.7. But I am currently using this on a virtual machine so if it does break I can recover. That seems the only option but impractical in a production environment.

I've found very little shoogle help online (the author suggests SO etc. for support) so if any one has any experience with shoogle or suggestions to get the requiured python version I'd be happy to hear.

Running shoogle from a python3 interpreter finds the 2.7 files:
